Impact Center Opens for Youth in Springfield On May 18, we officially opened our new youth access center, The Impact Center, in Springfield. The Impact Center offers services for youth 16-21 who are experiencing, or at risk of, mental health and/or substance use concerns in a friendly relaxed space where they connect to resources for jobs, housing, education, and more. At the Impact Center youth can access peer mentoring, recovery navigation help, free Wi-Fi, a book lounge, a media lab, support groups, benefits navigation assistance, housing resources, resume building, health and wellness tips, and independent life skills coaching. At the ribbon cutting we welcomed our dedicated legislators, staff, funders, and community collaborators. A huge thank-you to everyone who worked so hard to bring this important resource to the city of Springfield and its deserving young people.
